Aldebaran NAO

The following is a video of an Aldebaran Nao prototype robot at WAF 2008 (Workshop de Agentes Físicos, 2008. Vigo. Spain). This one is used by University Rey Juan Carlos of Madrid to participate in the Robocup competition. After Sony decided to quit the manufacturing of Sony Aibo, Nao has become the new physical robot in that category.

As can be observed in the demo, some improvements to balance and movements are still to be made in order to have an effective robotic soccer player..
